I enjoyed every bit of the video.
You won't forget to share when it's under steam I hope.
Nice purchase.

I won't look for the knock till I've run it properly on steam with some proper lubrication. Steam and oil may quiet her down a bit, but if not, it WILL be looked into!

I bought this on Ebay about a week ago.  It just arrived today from out of the country.  It was extremely well-packed and upon first inspection, I was very pleased with the quality of the machine work.  Although I bought it from a seller in Canada, the information I got from the seller was that it was purchased from a builder in Scotland by the name of Albert Ranaldi.  You can see some of his other designs on YouTube.  I will certainly be looking for other engines built by this same builder in the future.
